At 8 o'clock in the morning, at the police station in Luhua District, Jiangmeng City, Lin Hua, the female police officer in charge of Li Ming's case, walked into the interrogation room.
"Li Ming, can you tell me everything that happened to you?"
"What did Meng Shu and Han Xuan say?" Li Ming asked.
"They accused you of committing murder, but I don't think this case is that simple." Lin Hua took out a mobile phone and opened a video file.
Li Ming looked at the video file. This video file was a candid video that recorded what happened after Mengshu entered the room with three bodyguards.
As the video played, Li Ming lowered his head. Because this scene is something I don’t want to see, and the more I look at it, the more painful I feel.
Lin Hua saw that Li Ming looked very sad and stopped playing the video before it finished playing.
"This video was provided by an eyewitness. According to his statement, he heard a loud noise and the hysterical cry of grief from a girl. Feeling uneasy, he walked out of the room and secretly He came to the door of your room and recorded this video. He originally thought it was just an ordinary quarrel, but he didn't expect that someone would be killed in the end, so he called the police. Now, this video material is an extremely important piece of evidence. If Han Xuan is found guilty of attempted rape, and if Mengshu is found guilty of insulting your personality, then you can be deemed as excessive homicide, and the crime will be greatly reduced. Therefore, I hope you can tell everything that happened. tell me."
Li Ming didn't speak, just lowered his head and shed tears silently. It's so sad to think about all the details.
Lin Hua gently held Li Ming's hand and encouraged: "My child, believe me, I will help you. Tell me everything."
With Lin Hua's encouragement, Liming told Lin Hua everything he had experienced.
After hearing everything, Lin Hua was shocked and couldn't help but shed tears of distress for Li Ming's tragic experience.
Lin Hua stood up, hugged Li Ming tightly, and comforted: "My child, I will help you, don't be too sad."
After the interrogation, Lin Hua returned to his office and planned to make a report on everything. However, she had only been writing for a few minutes when the phone on her desk rang.
Lin Hua picked up the phone and found that it was the director.
The director asked Lin Hua to go to his office immediately. He had very urgent matters to give instructions.
Because the director's tone on the phone was very anxious, Lin Hua did not dare to delay at all. He even forgot to take his mobile phone and hurried to the director's office.
After Lin Hua arrived at the director's office, the director directly said to Lin Hua: "You no longer need to be responsible for Li Ming's case. Please transfer it to Xiao Liu."
"Transfer to Xiao Liu? Xiao Liu is still young and not suitable for handling such a big case." Lin Hua refused.
"Isn't it just a murder case? All the witnesses and material evidence are there, what else is there to say. This matter has been settled. You will be responsible for the Dongcheng rape and murder case. Now go to the deputy director to get the information." The director smoked. Da Yan said.
"Are you going to handle this matter so hastily?" Lin Hua was a little angry.
"That's it, you go back to work." The director's attitude was very firm.
Although Lin Hua was dissatisfied, she could not change the director's mind. The only way now is to hand over the evidence to Xiao Liu, tell Xiao Liu the details, and ask Xiao Liu to help Liming.
However, when Lin Hua sat back at his office, he suddenly felt that something was missing.
Lin Hua thought carefully and found that the mobile phone containing the evidence was gone.
Anxious Lin Hua searched here and there, but found no trace of his cell phone.
Damn it, who dares to steal from the police station? Have you eaten the courage of a leopard?
The angry Lin Hua immediately rushed to the monitoring room to check the surveillance footage of his office.
Shockingly, the office surveillance screen was out of order for five minutes, and five minutes later, the phone disappeared.
How could such important evidence be lost?
Lin Hua suddenly became an ant on the hot pot. She hurried to the director's office to report the situation to him.
In the end, the director just replied calmly: "I don't have time to take care of this matter. You can find a way to solve it yourself. You should take good care of your own things."
Lin Hua was furious when he saw the director's attitude. If the director doesn't help, he may not be able to retrieve the phone with his own abilities. Liming will go to trial in two days. If this important evidence is not handed over, the situation will be very unfavorable for Liming.
Lin Hua, who returned to the office, thought about the whole process carefully and felt that there might be an insider at work in the police station. Could it be that Han Xuan and Mengshu used their special relationship? Could it be that the director was also involved?
Lin Huasi thought about it but couldn't find a solution and was very sad.
In the afternoon, Lin Hua decided to try Deputy Director Ding Meng. Maybe Ding Meng was an upright and honest person.
Lin Hua risked being fired and told Deputy Director Ding Meng everything.
Din Meng was shocked after hearing everything, but soon he showed a sad expression.
"Xiaohua, this matter is obviously a collusion between government and businessmen. With our ability and authority, we can't do anything. It's better to turn a blind eye. If we don't do it right, both of us will be in danger."
"Deputy Director Ding, do you really want to watch Li Ming being imprisoned unjustly?"
"It's not like she was unjust. She did kill one of Mengshu's bodyguards, and the other two bodyguards are still in the intensive care unit. Even if it can be proven that Li Ming committed excessive homicide, at most it will only reduce the sentence by a few years. What can it do? Meaning?" Ding Meng advised.
"A few years doesn't matter to you, but it is too important to Li Ming. If Li Ming is already middle-aged when she is released from prison, will she still have the courage to face life?" Lin Hua burst into tears as she spoke.
"But even if I want to help, I can't intervene. I'm just the deputy director."
"Your authority is not low either. How would you know if you don't try?"
"You are really making things difficult for me." Ding Meng still looked reluctant.
The atmosphere in the office became tense. Lin Hua was so angry that his hands were shaking and he said nothing, while Ding Meng showed a helpless expression.
A few minutes later, Lin Hua wiped his tears, lowered his head and slowly walked out of the office.
Before walking out of the door, Lin Hua turned his head and said one last sentence: "Li Ming is a very poor orphan. If your child is still alive, he should be as old as her."
Ding Meng froze after hearing these words. His heart was violently impacted, and the grief buried deep in his heart was aroused.
My child, Ding Ming...
Seeing Ding Meng staying there motionless, Lin Hua shook his head in disappointment. She sighed and planned to walk away.
"Wait a minute!" Ding Meng suddenly shouted, his eyes full of determination.
After Lin Hua turned around, Ding Meng walked up to Lin Hua and continued: "I take care of this matter!"
"Deputy Director Ding..." Lin Hua shed tears of emotion.
There are still two days left before Li Ming's trial. The evidence must be recovered within two days. This task can be said to be very arduous.
Xiaohua and Ding Meng cooperated to investigate all the people who came to and from the police station that day.
The two worked hard for 15 hours without rest until the next morning, but made no progress. In fact, they know that this hope is not great to begin with. Because if the director personally arranged it, he would definitely be able to do it in a watertight manner and there would be no clues at all.
Xiaohua and Ding Meng fell into anxiety and despair.
Two days passed, and until the time of Liming's trial, Xiaohua and Ding Meng still found no evidence. Not only that, the witness who provided the video material refused to appear in court to testify for Li Ming.
In the end, the trial unilaterally convicted Li Ming, while Han Xuan's attempted rape and Mengshu's personal insult were not mentioned.
The judge picked up the verdict and read out to everyone: "Li Ming committed intentional homicide and was found guilty. However, because he was under 18 years old, and the plaintiff Meng Shu and the family members of the deceased stated that he was still a minor, We are willing to understand the defendant's impulsiveness and take the initiative to ask for a lighter sentence. After deliberations by the court jury, the final verdict is as follows: Liming was sentenced to 6 years in prison for being a traitor, and he will be reformed through labor until he reaches adulthood before being formally sentenced."
In the court, Li Ming always lowered his head. The plaintiff Meng Shu watched Li Ming being taken away by the bailiff from a distance, and felt moved in his heart: Li Ming, I hope you don't hate me. I spent a lot of money to bribe the families of the dead and injured before they were willing to ask for a lighter sentence. I have done everything I need to do for you. After all, you are my favorite dog!
Lin Hua and Ding Meng closed their eyes and prayed for Li Ming. Although they did not recover evidence to prove that Li Ming committed excessive homicide, Li Ming's verdict already fell into the category of excessive homicide.
Perhaps, this is already a blessing in misfortune.
17-year-old Liming was eventually sent to a labor camp, and everything came to an end.
A few months later, Jiang Hong, the police chief of Longhua District, was going to hold a banquet for his son Jiang Feng to celebrate his success in getting admitted to the best high school in Jiangmeng City. The chief and deputy chief of Luhua District, Ding Meng, were both invited. go.
During the dinner, Ding Meng and his good friend Police Officer Li (later Director Li) unexpectedly chatted about Li Ming. Officer Li hissed after hearing this and kept sighing: "This Li Ming is a talent. At such a young age, he defeated three bodyguards with his bare hands.
After the banquet, Officer Li talked about Liming with his boss Jiang Hong. Liming's experience also aroused Jiang Hong's interest.
Later, Jiang Hong checked all of Liming's files and initially determined that this person was a rare fighting prodigy that could only be seen in a century. It would be a pity to stay in prison.
In the end, Jiang Hong, Officer Li, and Ding Meng worked together to get the witness who had been bribed to testify again. Then Jiang Hong used various connections to contact the chief judge of Hongwei Court in Jiangmeng City and wanted to appeal again for Liming. Jiang Hong's commotion made the matter so big that even the chief of the Luhua District Police Department was involved.
A seemingly ordinary but extraordinary case involved many things, and the entire political situation of Jiangmeng City was shaken. In the end, the Luhua District Police Chief was dismissed for corruption and bribery, and Deputy Chief Ding Meng was promoted to the Chief of Luhua District. Han Xuan was sentenced to 2 years in prison for attempted rape, and Liming's sentence was commuted from 6 years to 5 years.
Although Li Ming's sentence did not change much, the bloody storm attracted the attention of the military.
